One is about implementing the ACME protocol, the other one is about managing TLS/SSL certificates and their options. There is some overlapping of course but putting all together might end up in confusing users even more. 2017-12-07 16:32 GMT+01:00 Eric Covener <cove...@gmail.com>: > On Thu, Dec 7, 2017 at 8:34 AM, Steffen <i...@apachelounge.com> wrote: > > I find the word Managed in ManagedDomain and MD in the other settings > already confusing, are not easy recognized. > > > > In fact lots of settings are managing domain(s). > > > > What does mod_md manage ? > > > > For me mod_md manages in the area of SSL(certificates automation). > > > > To be more easy to recognize, I propose to make SSL include in all the > md settings.

First thing that comes up in my mind is the thread "directive to reject non-configured hostnames w/o needing catch-all virtual hosts?". Another thing that is not technical but more "marketing" related is that there has already been a lot of chat over the news and socials about mod_md (at least from what I've seen) and changing its name now (or migrating it to another module) will surely confuse people (and potentially drive them away).
